Abstract: A timeless, moving and uplifting tale of merriment and visceral beauty...Ian reappraises his life after being reluctantly transferred back to London from Paris. Chasing memories of his brother and father, Ian and his Australian wife visit the Cotswolds, where on a whim they buy a cottage. They slowly get to know their neighbours and learn something of a hidden rural culture, but all is not well in 'paradise'. They learn about the loss of the countryside to industrial farming and of no-longer-affordable housing to the dreaded 'white settlers'. Shadows of the past and a seemingly segregated social world cast doubts on whether this is the place for them.
